Grant Berardo

Grant Berardo (2000-) was a resident of Wall Township, New Jersey. In 2017, while he was a junior at Wall Township High School, he wore a Donald Trump t-shirt to his school pictures with the permission of his parents, but either the Jostens or the school edited the picture out; the same happened to fellow students Wyatt and Montana Dobrovitch-Fago; the former's shirt was also edited, while Montana's attempt to use a Trump quote was also censored. While some people claimed that this was a violation of his rights, others claimed that schools had the right to censor speech if that had a reasonable expectation that it would cause material and substantial interruption of school activities or invade the rights of others. The First Amendment allowed for schools to censor offensive and indecent speech, which proved to be a valid counter-argument against Berardo.
